The Result
The end result was a very simple but clean space which allowed flexibility in its use. A subtle contrast was created between the modern white and stainless steel finishes against the antique fired oak flooring.

The Brief
To completely refurbish a two storey premise in the centre of York for Love Your Art Ltd. The design came from RIPE Design to transform the old café/wrap outlet into a clean and modern gallery and retail space for artists to display their work to the general public for purchasing.

The Solution
The premises had to be stripped of its existing partition walls & flooring and the existing staircase was opened up in order to prepare the space for the new build.

A new glass and stainless steel balustrade was fitted to the staircase. Small partitions were installed on the ground floor creating intimate spaces with increased wall space for artists work to be hung.
A fired oak solid timber floor was laid throughout and all walls, skirting and ceilings were painted to a crisp white finish. The shop front fascia and window frames were finished in a matt pale blue and complimented with stainless steel signage in the Love Your Art branding.

Adjustable contemporary lighting was installed to highlight the artists work. To finish off we built and installed a reception counter with storage, privacy screen and toughened glass top.
